Survey: Business development, health care industries continue to hire new grads
The good news for recent college graduates is that, despite the slumping economy, there are still several industries that are hiring young graduates at a brisk pace, according to a new study by MonsterTrak, the student division of Monster Worldwide Inc.
The top five industries for entry-level workers are sales and business development, which accounts for almost a quarter of all postings for entry-level workers and includes jobs in account management, real estate and advertising; accounting and finance; training and instruction; information technology and software development; and medical and health pay day advance.
Maynard, Mass.-based Monster (Nasdaq: MNST) also found that there was a 200 percent increase in entry-level postings related to the health care and medical fields.
Also, white collar entry-level jobs in sales and business development, as well as accounting and finance, still account for a large percentage of entry-level postings.
